Hi,

I forgot to say thank you Chuck and Lars, for showing that this could be done.

I wasn't sure what to make of the minifig heads at first. As I was working
on the cannon, I was unhappy with the way the torus primitives looked when
rendered with POV. Then I remembered the work Chuck had done on the heads.
To get more familiar with POV I set down and read the help files. Wow! What
a different and interesting world... (I'm still quite new at 3d cad work -
now only about a year)

Hopefully I will be able to help make a few more improvements.

Thanks again,

:-D

Paul

(...) I'm glad to see that some work it being done on the primitive level with the new L3P commands. I hope this trend will continue and the upgraded parts will be incorperated into the official library. -Chuck (26 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
